UK participants needed to help plan a clinical study to treat persistent pain after inguinal hernia surgery​​

Have you experienced pain after an inguinal (groin) hernia repair, that went on longer than you expected?

We are designing a study to test a treatment, and want to hear your views.

First, by testing some of the questionnaires we might use in your own time. And then in a small group discussion with other patients to discuss the design and patient experience.

The session will take place online using MS Teams in the next few weeks at 1830.

Please get in touch for any more information!

Survey and/or online small group into experiences of chronic (persistent) pain after surgery

We want to hear your views! Either by a quick, anonymous survey at:
